George Whitfield:
In a sermon called The Method of Grace, and in it he says there are two things you need to do to be a Christian. Before you can be a Christian, you have to do these two things. He says, first of all, you have to repent of your sin, but that’s not enough, because even the Pharisees do that. He says, secondly, you have to repent of your righteousness.
Whitefield says, “… self-righteousness is the last idol that is rooted out of the heart” before you can become a Christian.
